That severe, persistent cough in a young child could be more than just a regular viral infection. Let's quickly revise the classic clinical triad for Pertussis (Whooping Cough).
Remember these 3 key signs:
1️⃣ Paroxysmal Cough: Not a continuous cough, but violent, uncontrollable fits.
2️⃣ Inspiratory 'Whoop': A high-pitched gasp for air after a coughing spell.
3️⃣ Post-Tussive Vomiting: The child vomits due to the severity of the coughing.
Clinical Pearl: The most common age group is children under 5. To support your diagnosis, order a CBC and look for the characteristic lymphocytosis.
💡 Call to Action: The video asks about the treatment. What is the drug class of choice for Pertussis? Share your preferred macrolide (e.g., Azithromycin) and dosage protocols for different age groups in the comments below! 👇
